Florida man arrested for battering a police officer with a hot dog. | Police officers were ready to open the road back up to normal traffic. They let Stoll know that it was time to pack up and go home, but Stoll was still hustling. When the officers insisted, Stoll threw a hotdog at them, striking one of the officer’s uniform. The police officers arrested Stoll and actually mustard up the courage to charge him with battery with a hotdog.
Big Sur – Searching Day Light The town of Big Sur has an air of old school Northern California community about it, plucked right out of 1968. It’s our last day, a Sunday, and the local fire department is sponsoring a fundraising barbecue in the park. Out under the redwoods we eat tri tip, ribs, baked beans, potato salad, deviled eggs, and coleslaw. A bargain at $10 a plate, families gather, live bluegrass wafts across the grass, and barefoot children play hide and seek.
Jack and I, bellies full, lean up against a tree and take it all in, the beautiful setting, the friendly people, the mellow vibe. “You know,” I say, only partly in jest. ”This is how the hippies did it.”
“What’s a hippy?” he asks, with half a smile.
I’ve been treasuring this entire journey with my son and, just like that, a little of the meaning slips through.
“You’re looking at one,” I say.
Have you ever seen a wild hamster doing a photoshoot? 😊
Woman Terrified She May Have To Actually Use One Of The Dozens Of Cheap, Readily Available Methods of Birth Control In Post-Roe America GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Thousands of women around the country are being forced to face a terrifying new reality in which they actually have to use one of the dozens of cheap, readily available methods of birth control in post-Roe America. “For the first time, my habit of having unprotected sex with a different Tinder date every week to fill the empty hole in my soul may have consequences,” said local concerned woman Sandra Tibbensburg. “I can’t be bothered to stop at the gas station and pay three bucks for a pack of Trojans every time I go to a sleepover at a strange man’s house! This is literally The Handmaid’s Tale.”
The Age of the Superyacht | The New YorkerTake the case of David Geffen, the former music and film executive. He is long retired, but he hosts friends (and potential friends) on the four-hundred-and-fifty-four-foot Rising Sun, which has a double-height cinema, a spa and salon, and a staff of fifty-seven. In 2017, shortly after Barack and Michelle Obama departed the White House, they were photographed on Geffen’s boat in French Polynesia, accompanied by Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, and Rita Wilson. For Geffen, the boat keeps him connected to the upper echelons of power. There are wealthier Americans, but not many of them have a boat so delectable that it can induce both a Democratic President and the workingman’s crooner to risk the aroma of hypocrisy.
How to Meow in Yiddish: The Whole World Says OK, Hi and ByeOne of the things I noticed in people’s speech when I was traveling in Europe with my daughter was that they all say “OK” for agreement, “hi” when they meet you, and “bye” when you part.
Hi Mike, I’m so glad to share it. Truly, it is a light in dark places.

Halfheartedly, I was thinking if that yacht was loaded up with Geffen, Obama, Oprah, Hanks and Springsteen, that would be a good opportunity for a couple torpedoes.
That tangle of “string” is Ayanna Pressley’s wig.
“Hey, dat’s my wig,” she yelled (repeatedly, as if no one got it the first 5 times) in that way of hers that is an offence to theology and geometry.
“Musta slid off my (her) grease-ball head when I (she) bent over the toilet.”
How the wig ended up on Mars is a mystery that shall haunt us for the next, oh, five seconds.

The photographs of old Paris are very nice. The 9th one down is a lamp vendor selling his stuff on rue Lepic. That’s the street where Vincent lived with his brother Theo & wife almost two years. The building has a blue plaque noting his time there and when an occupant opened the door to the courtyard I slipped in before it closed. I was standing there taking it in, looking at the stairwell to the upstairs, the circle of doors on the ground floor, seeing what Vincent used to see every day, when a growling little dog came out of nowhere and nipped my ankle. Surprised the hell out of me, got my heart beating, and I felt embarrassment and bit of fear and loathing… probably a familiar Vincent way of feeling.

Nothing new under the sun. I had thought Eric Kim was doing something modern and new, he teaches street photography. I really like his work: erickimphotography.com but I see now that street photography has been going on since old Paris 1900’s and in probably every other place and time since photography was invented.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Hell is floating around for eternity on a boat with David Geffen, Bruce Springsteen, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack & Michelle Obama.
And I have reserved you a stateroom so that the nightly lectures will all just be part of the theme!
There’s a truly nauseating thought. I’d be praying every day for a rogue wave to rise up and smack the yacht broadside
Julie, I bought the book; it came today. Thank you. What a book. What a man. What a message. You know, “the book.”

Quick: Get Putin on the phone.
No doubt and I believe they will be there. But I won’t.
Something special for Dr. Van der Leun:
Here’s some music never to play for those people described as suffering from idiopathic anxiety.

Okay, is the Yiddish Meow blog really maybe Sippican?
NOPE… BUT IT IS somebody WE SEE HERE.
Aha! I caught their names at the bottom of the blog!
Gosh! Thankee sir! I am all over grins and giggles.
I see “yacht” and “New Yorker” and I think this:
